I Am
When you look at me,
You do not see,
Who I am,
I am just skin stretched over bone,
I am alone...
Who I am and who I think I...
Are two different things,
I stare and see a fading light,
In which would have remained,
If not for darkness...
Darkness...
I am darkness,
Jealous of light, but in love
With my attitude of hate
For the light,
The world,
Who inflicts pain on the dark,
On the black,
On me...
Who rejects the night,
Because they cannot see,
Cannot be,
Do not understand,
Me...
I am me...
You do not see,
Who I am,
I am just skin stretched over bone,
I am alone...
Who I am and who I think I...
Are two different things,
I stare and see a fading light,
In which would have remained,
If not for darkness...
Darkness...
I am darkness,
Jealous of light, but in love
With my attitude of hate
For the light,
The world,
Who inflicts pain on the dark,
On the black,
On me...
Who rejects the night,
Because they cannot see,
Cannot be,
Do not understand,
Me...
I am me...

This is what I will read as a modern poetry...The glamorous dark proclaiming to be happy and making the light jealous...The days of oppression and depression are gone...We have to stand ourselves to win...to be happy...to feel what like ourselves...instead of caring what others find me out...to hell with them who cannot see me...I can see myself...and that is enough...once again an individualist...gr8...keep writing...and then who the hell says that you are alone...the whole world is with you...trying to ignore...but they can't be able to do so, if you go on like this...

Thankyou for your comment. This poem was written of the inspiration of Sylvia Plath, mixed with a personal feeling from some time ago. I thought it turned out well. :)
